Hi all,
I just installed Qpopper 4.0.2 on a FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE system. I'm
getting the following error messages in the log any time someone tries to
download their mail, though:
May 10 12:13:08 cosmos popper[11031]: Insufficient room to generate path
for user cgray; need more than 919; have only 256
May 10 12:13:08 cosmos popper[11031]: cgray at 10.0.0.13 (10.0.0.13): -ERR
[SYS/TEMP] Unable to get spool name
Any thoughts on that? I've reverted back to 3.1.2 for now.
Also, on a side note, I saw that the compilation problem with poppassd was
fixed, but there is still one minor problem. I don't know if it affects
all systems, but it does at least affect FreeBSD, since there is no "root"
group. In the "install:" target in password/Makefile, the following
command gets executed:
install:
${INSTALL} -m 4755 -o root -g root poppassd ${installdir}/poppassd; \
echo "Installed poppassd as ${installdir}/poppassd"
Forcing the group to root with the "-g root" switch will cause the install
to fail under FreeBSD, since there is no "root" group. I saw that in
popper/Makefile, there is no -g parameter. Removing it altogether would
probably work on any platform; changing it to "wheel" would work with
FreeBSD and probably other BSD platforms, but might break under Linux or
other OS's.
